Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe 3 cases of peritoneal mesothelioma associated with endometriosis that were managed laparoscopically. DESIGN: Case series. SETTING: University and community hospitals. PATIENTS: Three women with well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma of the peritoneum associated with endometriosis. INTERVENTIONS: Laparoscopic excision and treatment of mesothelioma and endometriosis. RESULTS: Three patients underwent laparoscopy for treatment of endometriosis and were found to have peritoneal mesothelioma. All 3 patients underwent total laparoscopic excision of the lesions and were followed up regularly for surveillance of possible recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: In selected cases of well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma associated with pelvic endometriosis, operative laparoscopy can be used effectively to diagnose and treat this condition.
